BOSTON – Jerryd Bayless scored a season-high 29 points in a rare start, and Rajon Rondo added 22 points and 11 assists to help the Boston Celtics break a five-game losing streak with a 115-104 victory over the slumping Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.

Six players scored in double figures for Boston. Rondo's double-double was his second straight and fifth overall since he returned from a knee injury on Jan. 17.

Jeff Teague had 26 points and DeMarre Carroll scored 24 off the bench for Atlanta, which lost for the 10th time in 11 games.

Back home after an 0-4 West Coast trip, the Celtics had only nine healthy players after a sore toe forced rookie Kelly Olynyk to the bench alongside regular starters Jared Sullinger and Avery Bradley.

The Hawks were missing five injured players, including starters Al Horford and Paul Millsap.

Kyle Korver had 17 points for the Hawks, including four 3-pointers.

CAVALIERS 114, THUNDER 104

OKLAHOMA CITY – Kyrie Irving scored 14 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter to help the Cleveland Cavaliers beat Oklahoma City Wednesday night, giving the Thunder their third straight loss since the All-Star break.

Cleveland shot 14 for 21 from the field in the fourth quarter against the Western Conference-leading Thunder.

Kevin Durant had 28 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists, Russell Westbrook had 24 points and nine assists, and Serge Ibaka added 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Thunder. Oklahoma City is 0-3 since Westbrook returned from his latest knee surgery.

BULLS 103, WARRIORS 83

CHICAGO – Taj Gibson scored 21 points, Carlos Boozer added 15 points and 13 rebounds, and Chicago used a big third-quarter run to win for the seventh time in eight games by pounding Golden State.

They also dominated on the glass 56-41, forced 16 turnovers and held All-Star Stephen Curry in check while bringing Golden State's four-game win streak to an emphatic end.

Jordan Crawford scored 16 points for the Warriors and David Lee came off the bench to get 11 points in 20 minutes after being hospitalized with a stomach flu and missing two games, but Curry tied a season low with five points on 2-of-10 shooting.

MAVERICKS 108, PELICANS 89

DALLAS – Dirk Nowitzki shook off an early shoulder issue to finish with 18 points in Dallas' victory and New Orleans All-Star Anthony Davis was knocked out of the game with a similar problem.

Nowitzki went to the locker room 31 seconds into the game holding his left shoulder but emerged a short time later and returned to the game. He even had a spin move and finished with a left-handed finger roll in the first half.

Davis, the Pelicans' leading scorer and rebounder, was holding his sprained left shoulder on his way to play defense and didn't return after leaving the game during a New Orleans timeout with 4:13 left in the first half.

The Mavericks (36-23) are a season-high 13 games over .500 after their fourth straight win, and the Pelicans stayed winless since the All-Star break at 0-5.

PORTLAND, Ore. – Will Barton had a season-high 20 points and career-high 11 rebounds, providing a spark off the bench for short-handed Portland in its rout of Brooklyn.

The Blazers won their fourth straight game despite missing forward LaMarcus Aldridge. The team's top scorer and rebounder has been out five games with a left groin sprain.

Jason Collins, who became the NBA's first openly gay player when he signed a 10-day contract with the Nets on Sunday, entered the game without fan reaction and played a pair of scoreless stretches in the fourth quarter.

Josh Smith scored 24 points for Detroit, which has lost three straight. Will Bynum added 18 points, Rodney Stuckey 17 and Andre Drummond had 16 points and 17 rebounds.

San Antonio got off to a sloppy start despite having two practices during a five-day break following its annual Rodeo Road Trip that lasted nearly a month.

JAZZ 109, SUNS 86

SALT LAKE CITY – Gordon Hayward had 17 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists to lead a balanced offense and Utah cruised to victory over slumping Phoenix.

Richard Jefferson scored 17 points, Diante Garrett had a career-high 15 and the Jazz had seven players in double figures.

The Jazz shot 57.5 percent from the field, the highest mark of any Phoenix opponent this season.

Gerald Green had 17 points and rookie Archie Goodwin matched his career-best with 16 for the Suns.

Playing their only road game in a nine-game stretch, the Suns have been looking to improve their playoff position. However, with a third straight loss, Phoenix leads Memphis by just one-half game for the eighth and final Western Conference berth.

The Lakers were 7 of 11 on 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and Jordan Farmar's 3 from 29 feet with about 15 seconds left pulled Los Angeles to 106-103. However, Lee's two free throws closed the scoring.

The Clippers won for the sixth time in eight games, converting 20 Houston turnovers into 30 points. DeAndre Jordan had 13 points and 10 rebounds for his 30th double-double. His previous career high was 12 last season.

Jamal Crawford, who had a season-high seven 3-pointers Monday night in a win at New Orleans, was 1 for 6 behind the arc against the Rockets and left the game for good with 13 seconds remaining in the first half because of a left calf strain. He played 15 minutes and had eight points.

"I've been talking to Marvel Comics for the last couple of days, and DC Comics, to try to come up with one of the greatest masks of all time," James said with a chuckle Wednesday. "So we'll see what happens."

James spoke after trying out his new mask for the first time in practice. He plans to use it Thursday when the Miami Heat play the New York Knicks.

The game will be the first for James since he broke his nose last Thursday in a victory at Oklahoma City.
